Pathetic? You want to talk pathetic...you are pathetic, you can't even talk facts. You ignore them like the plague.

OWS has got just as much rights as anyone else to use public spaces.

Those events had, wait for it, wait for it... PERMITS! Did the OWS crowd? I don't think so. See the difference now?

The permits are not for freedom of speech, they are for use of public property!

so if you want to march down the street or hold a political rally, it's not exercising freedom of speech?

Contact the city you want to talk to. Do a simple search, there's plenty info out there like this link talking about a counter protest not getting a permit after the Tea Party got one in White Plains NY.

Permit denied for counter Tea Party rally > Citizens 4 Freedom

And he provided a link to a terrorist plot. I suppose terrorism isn't violent, as long as it's planned by tea party people

I guess that means you can't prove what you said. Show me where I said no Tea Party members were arrested. Just show me, otherwise you lied.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The Constitution says nothing about needing a permit to exercise your rights. Permits are just a police state tactic, to limit freedom. Like refusing sanitation facilities to demonstrators, and then shutting down the demonstration for health reasons.
